$1620 |
Amount that Fred received every day
= 1620 - 1440
= $180
1 u = 180
Amount that Harry received every day
= 4 u
= 4 x 180
= $720
Amount that Harry had at first
= 1620 - 720
= $900
Total amount that Harry and Fred had at first
= 1440 + 900
= $2340
Harry's amount : Total amount
900 : 2340
5 : 13
Answer(s): 5 : 13
